Unai Emery has plenty of selection problems, with Emi Martinez, Tyrone
Mings, Emi Buendia, Boubacar Kamara, Jacob Ramsey, Alex Moreno and Youri
Tielemans all out, although the Aston Villa manager had one positive piece of team news.

“With the injured
players, this morning Nicolo Zaniolo was feeling better after yesterday
not feeling very well, we are thinking to include him in the squad
tomorrow,” he said.

“With Tielemans, Emiliano and Alex Moreno tomorrow they are not
available. On Sunday I don’t know. They are progressing well but it is
three days. I don’t know.”

On being without the
injured Martinez, who was suspended for the first leg anyway: “Martinez is
very competitive and very important and helped us a lot. But when an issue
like that, the yellow card, and a small injury as well we have to protect,
help and support and push another player in the squad.

“Robin Olsen has
been very competitive every day in training, when he played he helped the
team and the team believes in him and trusts in his performances.

“On
Saturday, he played 45 minutes against Chelsea and he saved us. He’s a
humble man and hopefully he can help us and he can feel comfortable as
well playing.”
